My fiance and I were planning on a June wedding, but have been engaged for a year now and wanna move it up. So we decided on January 19th. What do you think is a good color for bridesmaid dresses and the vests and ties for the guys? I'm already thinking a dark maroon.. .NO BLUE OR GREEN.
ALSO.. What are good ideas for Brides maid and Groomsmen gifts?? I cant think of anything! My bridesmaids are my sister and best friend and another girl friend, and the groomsmen are just all friends of his.
SO my best friend drinks alot, my sister doesnt and is a hardcore christian like me along with my other bridesmaid, and all the groomsmen drink alot too.... SO WHAT DO YA THINK!?!
Thanks in advance!!
sorry not pregnancy related but no one looks in the wedding category :(

Maroon and gray or Maroon & silver (esp if you live where it snows) sounds beautiful.
The bridesmaids get their own (top notch, professional) mani/pedi set. You know how it's been in the news that you can get diseases from using the same mani instruments as the person before? We'd all rather have our own. After all, Julia Roberts & Catherine Zeta do!
The groomsmen get wallets or money clips or tie clips or pen sets.
If the bride isn't going to imbibe in alcohol, then no one should. Sparkling Apple Cider can be poured into champagne flutes for the toasts. If you know that some people are going to overimbibe, put a limit on drinks or don't serve them at all.
Best wishes!

I think that maroon or deep red is nice as well. Black is a great choice because it goes well on everyone. Maybe even a black dress with a dee red sash and then you can put the gyus in black tuxes and black shirts with a deep red tie. Looks stunning. As for gifts I went really simple at my own wedding. I bought all the girls elbow lenght gloves, matching earrings, necklace, and bracelets, and tights. This accomplished 2 things: a gift for the bridesmaids and keeping the wedding party looking uniform for pictures. You can alway buy them the shoes too if you want to spend more. For the guys I bought them each a bottle of their favorite booze. A lot of which was consumed before the wedding. Some people do flasks but I think the guys liked the acohol better.

My husband and i just got married in Febuary. For the groomens gift we got the guys a beer mug, you can get stainless stell ones and get them engraved, for the girls i bought them a necklace and earings each to wear on our wedding day.
As for colours it's really a personal choice, we had passion(purple), hot pink and aqua. We had the groomsmens ties the same colours as our bridemaid dresses.

I like the dark maroon also. A deep eggplant would be pretty also.
When my sister got married she gave her bridesmaids pretty silver bracelets and the groomsmen got football jerseys.

congrats!! ok i like the maroon color. deep red roses, maybe poinsettias if they still look good after holidays for decor.
gifts? hmm maybe a piece of jewelry? or a gift cert to someplace like sephora. maybe a spa day?
for grooms men? beer steins.
if the attendants are good enough friends of yours to be in your wedding, i hope you can talk to the ones with a tendancy to over indulge in alcohol. see if they can hold off till later in the reception to really cut loose. good luck and have fun!

Go with whatever colors you want to, it's your day. As for the gifts, we just got everyone gift cards for a store or restaurant that they like to go to.
